Sausages with Greens & Beans and Grilled Garlic Bread

I fell in
love with Italian Greens & Beans at our Italian friend’s family dinner and
have been making it ever since. Here’s my spin on the dish. This dish is healthy,
tasty, cheap and quick… and my hubby loves it!

Red pepper
flakes (Amount depends on how spicy you like it. I usually do 1 tsp.)

1 can cannellini
or white kidney beans

Salt &
pepper, to taste

Grilled
Garlic Toast:

Rustic,
crusty bread, sliced (I used a crusty sourdough loaf)

1 Tbsp extra
virgin olive oil (EVOO)

Garlic
cloves

Sea salt

Sausages…your
favorite kind!

In a large
pan, heat EVOO over med-high heat. Add kale and carrots; sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add
broth, cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, pepper
flakes and cannellini beans. Mix together and season with salt and pepper to
taste. Cover and set aside until ready to eat.

While the
sausages are grilling, brush one side of each slice of bread with EVOO. Grill
bread on both sides. Once bread is toasty, rub oiled side with garlic cloves.
Sprinkle with salt.
